Home Sleep Diagnostics

Sleep in your own bed to get started.

Diagnosing sleep disorders can be a time-consuming process involving in-lab overnight stays and various other tests. If you or your partner are concerned about your sleep patterns, at-home sleep diagnostics can be a valuable tool to indicate whether or not you should consult with Dr. Schalch Lepe further and look at treatment.

The process is a sophisticated wearable monitor that tracks your breathing, oxygen levels, sleep stages, body position, snoring intensity, and heart rate over a single night. The metrics from this test can indicate whether or not you should seek further care for possible sleep-disordered breathing.

Treatments

Custom-Tailored Treatment Plans

Dr. Schalch Lepe’s expertise is in advanced procedures that minimize operative time, reduce downtime and optimize results. Obstructive sleep apnea and sinus issues are the most common ailments patients bring to Dr. Schalch Lepe. Both conditions have an array of potential treatments suited to different patients.

One of the most common and effective treatments for obstructive sleep apnea, for example, is CPAP therapy. However, this treatment is sometimes be received poorly by some patients. In such cases, Dr. Schalch Lepe can leverage Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation or minimally invasive surgery to make adjustments to the tissue structure of the patient’s throat and clear areas of obstruction.  

On the other hand, sinus issues might benefit from non-surgical treatments such as VivAer, minimally invasive treatments such as balloon sinuplasty, or nasal valve surgery.
